The Woodward 2301A Full Authority Speed Control sets the speed or load of a diesel engine, gas engine, steam turbine, or gas turbine according to the demand of a process or a computer control signal. The unit provides isochronous operation, with droop control available through an externally-wired potentiometer. The isochronous mode is used for constant speed of the controlled prime mover as long as it is able to provide power to satisfy the load. Droop control is provided when parallel-bus operation is required.
UG ACTUATOR
The Woodward UG-Actuator offers the advantages of electronic control and load sharing systems while using the convenient, existing UG8-type drives and linkages. The actuator provides the muscle for Woodward analog controls such as the 2301A, as well as Woodward digital controls such as the 2301Dand the 723 Plus. The UG-Actuator can be used with diesel or natural gas engines, as well as with steam and industrial gas turbines. The UG-Actuator has a self-contained oil sump so a separate oil supply is not required.
UG25+
The Woodward UG-25+ governor is a microprocessor-controlled, mechanical-hydraulic amplified, governor for controlling diesel, gas, and dual fuel engines, and steam turbines. The UG-25+ offers enhanced control capabilities, such as start fuel and boost limiting schemes. The additional transient fuel limiting (jump-rate) improves the engine load acceptance and reduces transient emissions significantly. The UG-25+ concept offers a fast-acting and high-work-output governor, without the need for any auxiliary devices such as a start booster.
UG8/10
The UG products are mechanical-hydraulic governors for controlling diesel, gas, or dual fuel engines, or steam turbines. The governor provides extremely reliable speed control throughout the drive speed and temperature range. This proven design has been the industry standard for many years and its worldwide acceptance provides easy service in most engine and governor shops. UG governors (generally known as the “UG-8”) are available in either a UG Dial or UG Lever configuration. Each model is available with any of three different work outputs: UG-5.7: 7.1 N-m (5.2 lb-ft) / UG-8: 13.2 N-m (9.7 lb-ft) / UG-10:15.9 N-m (11.7 lb-ft). UG-Dial governors are particularly suited for constant speed applications. Knob speed settings make synchronization easy for generator applications. Motor speed setting is available for remote synchronization. Adjustable droop makes load sharing between engines precise.
UG Lever governors are widely used for variable speed control. Remote speed setting can be either mechanical through the speed setting lever or pneumatic with a special speed setting device. Special attachments are available for other applications.
The UG pump is designed for applications which reverse engine rotation.
SG Governor
The Woodward SG governor hydraulic speed-droop type governor is designed for use on small diesel, gas, or gasoline engines where isochronous control is not required. The governor operates at a slower speed as engine load increases achieving system stability and load division between paralleled units.
PSG GOVERNOR
The Woodward PSG governor is a pressure compensated, speed-droop or isochronous governor for controlling the speed of small diesel, gas, and gasoline engines, or small steam or industrial gas turbines. The governor is used to control engines or turbines driving alternators, dc generators, pumps, or compressors
PG-PL GOVERNOR
The Woodward PG-PL is a pressure compensated, isochronous control type governor widely used for controlling speed for all types of diesel or gas engines and steam turbines, driving pumps and compressors. It produces output in the 12 to 58 ft-lb range.
EG-3P ACTUATOR
The Woodward EG-3P (proportional) and EG-3PC (proportional with compensation)actuators are designed for use on diesel, gas, and gasoline engines, or turbines, and are particularly well suited for use in control systems requiring a proportional mechanical output of a proportional electrical input.
3161 Mechanical-Hydraulic Governor
The Woodward 3161 mechanical-hydraulic governor is designed for speed control of diesel engines, gas engines, or steam turbines. The variety of standard features and available options makes the governor ideal for use in a wide variety of applications which require work capacity of up to 24 Nxm (18 lb-ft). Applications include off-highway vehicles, industrial, marine, generator set, compressor, or pump drives.
